| When we were little, we were told that one of the core rules of proper recycling was that each different item glass, plastic, paper, and aluminum should be placed in its own separate bin. Many sanitation and recycling programs run by municipalities follow this model, having pickup days for eacha few different materials each week. This is not always the case, however. What is commingled recycling and how does it make it even easier for people to recycle? | |

|
| These days, recycling is almost second-nature to many people. When we take out the trash, we put the plastic, glass, metal, and paper in its respective bin, and bring it to the curb. When were out and about, we know which bin to throw the recyclable products into, and which is just for trash. How do we know all that? Because of the recycling symbol, of course. But the history of the recycling symbol and the person who invented it, are not widely understood by many of the people who take that now-iconic symbol for granted. | |
